    The Spanish verb abrir nearly always works as the equivalent of "to open" or "to open up." You can use abrir to refer to the opening of a diverse array of things such as doors, stores, nuts, containers, wells, curtains, books, and mouths. The reflexive form, abrirse, can even be used for the concept of becoming open to new ideas or to open oneself.

    Fortunately, the conjugation of abrir is mostly regular. Only the past participle, abierto, is irregular. In other words, abrir nearly always follows the pattern of other verbs ending in -ir.

    This guide shows the conjugations of all the simple tenses: present, preterite, imperfect, future, present subjunctive, imperfect subjunctive, and imperative. The periphrastic (more than one word) future, the past participle, and the gerund also are listed.
